For $200 you could have got the welder from harbor freight and did it yourself and have a new tool.

all the people saying "buy a welder" do you know how many times I've been called to a place that had a better welder than I did, but no one could operate it to complete the job they needed. 🧐 food for thought.

$200 is just travel, one hour minimum at $175/hr. All very easily justified with the cost of the equipment, insurance, labor, fuel, experience that includes what ever cert is required. If you dont need any of that than find someone else.

Everyone in these comments telling you to buy a cheap welder are wrong. Those cheap 120 volt jobs don't have the juice to make the nuts stick good, especially on rusted exhaust manifold bolts. You need a good 240 volt welder for it to be reliable.

That’s about right maybe to low to some welders out here. Either way you’re paying for experience and knowledge and skill.

Roadmap :
Now price the time, equipment, fuel and bs to come to a shop that’s what you paid for. All of that cost isn’t because of one little bolt but none in this comment section seems to understand how business works
